Senior Finance Business Partner / Operational Finance Manager | £70,000 + benefits (including 20% bonus, family healthcare plan etc) | Devizes

The Opportunity

If you are someone commercially minded looking to join a manufacturing business that will stretch your business partnering ability rather than bog you down in the weeds of month end it would be great to speak.

You’ll join a manufacturing business that has almost trebled revenue in the past 5 years! Currently £75m+ turnover and continuing to expand, it’s a fast-paced, modern and innovative FMCG manufacturing setting.

The focus is added value business partnering.  Working in close collaboration with the Head of Operations for the thriving business unit.  

The ‘nuts and bolts’ of the management accounts pack prep and balance sheet work is done by a central team.  You have the freedom to take the pack out into the business and influence positive change and commercially impactful decision making.

It’s a great business – a subsidiary of a FTSE 250 group that can offer significant career progression for the right person.  Equally if you are a seasoned finance professional who loves the cut and thrust of manufacturing, but you are comfortable at site finance lead level, then this is a role that will give you a high degree of involvement and reward.

There’s plenty of projects to get your teeth into – developing and standardising the commercial / operational reporting, longer range forecasting, capex and ROI projects, cost drill downs, operational KPI reviews…. It’s a role that works closely with the SLT and is absolutely vital. 

You’ll manage a small team of more junior locally based FBPs.

If you want to step away from the core reporting and control remit and focus on influencing change and working in a truly business partnering capacity then this is your bag.

Required:

• Previous experience of finance business partnering within a manufacturing / production setting.
• Good understanding of the levers of profit and cost in a growth business.
• Ability to win hearts and minds and confidence when presenting / discussing financial info with an operational leadership team.
• Proactivity – it suits someone who loves to get out into the business to understand where optimisation and efficiencies live!
• Ability to influence strategic and long range planning as well and managing the day to day tactical accounting / business partnering.
• CIMA or equivalent required.
